I think these are exposed in the Louvre museum, in Paris.
Now where they are exactly in this huge museum I don't remember, hopefully Greg will be able to tell you more...

Nope. I can't tell you any more than that. All I remember is walking around in the Louvre and then stumbling upon some nice stained glass images. I guess there is probably a section of stained glass someplace.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Here is a painting of Louis XII entering Genoa in 1507. He has two swords, one on the saddle, and the long one on his hip.

That last picture brings up the interesting points of demands for evidence on the practice of carrying one sword on the belt and one in the saddle. Now that we have that early 16th-century illustration and this translation of the 13th-century King's Mirror from Norway:
Quote: | He must have a dirk and two swords, one girded on and another hanging from the pommel of the saddle. |
I daresay we have more evidence for this than for a lot of other things reenactors have been known to do!
